Ramen in Mexico City
Your Mexico City passport
Tap Been there on the spots you’ve been to.See passport →
In Mexico City, ramen clusters in the stretch from Zona Rosa and Juárez down to Condesa, Nápoles and Del Valle, with the odd spot in Santa María la Ribera. These are small rooms, with queues on holidays and waiters named in the reviews, and chili shows up more than in other cities, so it is worth asking before you order. We read hundreds of reviews and kept the 8 worth the trip. No podium: choose by colonia.

Portion sizes and value for money please most guests, but service is inconsistent, with recurring reports of slow, inattentive waitstaff.
Slow, inattentive service is a recurring complaint — customers report trouble getting the waiters' attention even when the place is fully staffed.

One of the best ramens I've ever eaten — very original, in a small, cozy place.
Heads Ramen
The space is small and often forms a line, especially on busy dates, but customers agree it's worth the wait. The house is also praised for its small plates (karaage, edamame, gyoza) and the green tea ice cream.
Inconsistent service — reports of delays, mixed-up orders, and a grumpy welcome on some days

This ramen really is good — the broth is rich across the several options I've tried, and the toppings and meat are great too.
Manpuku Ramen
The house reopened as a themed pop-up (Captain Tsubasa in collaboration with a Japanese chef), which split opinions among longtime customers who missed the previous concept. It operates in a small two-story space, with a line at peak hours.
Lines and waits of up to 30 minutes at peak hours, given the small space

The ramen has the perfect portion and the perfect flavor — the best I've eaten in Mexico City.
Rokai Ramen-Ya
The experience is inconsistent: some report rude service and small portions for the price, while others describe impeccable hospitality and authentic flavor.

If you're looking for good ramen, this is the place — a great price for the flavor it delivers.
Take Kare Ramen
A small spot with a cozy, family feel; the servers' names come up repeatedly in service compliments. Also serves a variety of mochi for dessert.

The ramen broth is perfect, and the Tokyo ramen is super delicious.
Tonchin
Gets consistent praise for flavor and service, even on packed days. The space is small, with tables seating up to two people, which can limit larger groups.

We were fascinated by the ramen — it's delicious, and my daughter loved it.
Yamasan Ramen House
The house has a varied menu, with a well-rated vegetarian option and its own desserts; some customers find the broth a bit salty or lacking the depth they expected.

The food tastes very traditional — they respect the flavors, and the noodles are a 10 out of 10.
Yoko Ramen
Service is praised in nearly every review, with waitstaff called out by name; some dishes come spicier than the menu suggests, so it's worth asking before ordering.

My favorite is the atari ramen — not too spicy and with excellent flavor.
